Jim Nye is just out to spred his agenda . Jim is being paid by the 3 casinos in Detroit plus the Saginaw Chips and the Huron band to run a negitive media blitz . He will never be for Lansing . Jim dosnt even live here . What dose he care of any jobs here ...

Angela... Do your home work . Look at the NIGC definition of Off reservation gaming ... Public information . If the casino opens on trust land its not off reservation gaming . Off reservation gaming is a term used by California tribes that open casinos on land not as Indian lands are held to force the BIA to put thier land in trust . I like your reporting but please dont use the wrong lable on this project .

Well no they dont need Federal aproval . The federal aproval is in the Land Claime Settlement act . Read it its public information . Google it . Than Look at the NIGC section 20 regulation on landexceptions for gaming without needing permition . One of the 3 is if you buy land with a land claim settlement . Its all there . Its not off reservation if the land is intrust before the casino is open . Federal definition of off resivation gaming is if gaming takes place on land that is not owned bye the tribe . Thats public too . It would take only 5 google searches to find all of what you need . Good Luck ..

Wow Angela ! That hurt ...LOL I know you dodnt know much about me, but Ive worked in Native Gaming for over 16 years now . First in Califonia with 3 tribes ,New York state , Louisiana and Michigan . Ive worked under My Father DR William Cross and our friend Richard . I've also woked for Ari Emanual on a gaming malti player poker game . Ive been around . I thought introducing the tribe to the City would be a good thing seeing I was born at Sparrow . The devloper that now I am part of was the only one to take the chance on Lansing . I have been working on this before I brought it to The Tribe and Lansing for over 7 years to get it rite . This here is a pure case of NO GOOD DEED GOSE UNPUNISHED . We can go some were else its up to us . 1500 jobs ..... I thought I was doing a good thing ....... Well there it is ....

My name is Bill Cross II . I am one of 6 members of Lansing Future llc. Im a card carrying member of a tribe in Michigan . The Radison agreement with the City Councel will not alow any good deals for a hotel to come to town . Hotels loose money anyways ..Im at the meetings . Even met with this reporter .

How funny is this ....LoL !! The same Gun Lake tribe that put a Casino in the back yard of the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians ? Than ran to the Governor to amend the Pokagans Compact so they could . If you build a Burger King next to a McDonalds can they sue ? If Gun Lake had a chance to put a Casino in Lansing do you think they would ? Wait they did have the chance and chose not to . I think Gun Lake should worrie more about thier own problems of trust land than this project . For that Matter the Huron Band did the same thing to the Pokagans ...Karma... Quit crying and focas on making money.......

How dose the tribe plan on a casino in Fruitport ?
It sounds great. But it takes more than want . Look at the tribes compact with the state . It describes land they can game on . look at its constitution . All public record . Even with that the tribe cant put a casino in Fruitport.It will take legislation to do so. And the other tribes in michigan will kill it .WHAT A WAIST OF MONEY .
